The number is down to just over 2,000 pages indexed with that search query. I know it’s not a 100% reliable measure. But after just over a week it does seem to be that more and more companies are patching their servers.

The most interesting piece to this puzzle is that SQL injections can only really be defended against in the site code. I wonder what some of the developers behind the Irish sites hit told their clients?

SQL Injection is a serious problem and is happening more than one would think. Take WordPress, for instance. One of the last versions had a injection vulnerability. The problem is that if you update, something else breaks! :S Sometimes it’s just better to stick with the bad but working rather than the new and “unknown”.
